"Tree of Blessings" Update from Sts. Peter & Paul A.R.O.Y.

Due to bad weather in previous weeks, we didn't begin selling our ornaments until Christmas Day, and we were pleasantly surprised by the response we received!  On the first day we sold over 100 ornaments and are looking forward to selling even more in the next two weeks.

After advertising the project in our parish bulletin and our priest, Fr. Rosco, announcing it in church, we found that our parents, grandparents, family and friends were glad to support such a worthy cause.  They were also happy to write the names of loved ones on their ornament to be hung on the tree for all to see during this holiday season.

We hope other chapters have as much success and we look forward to doing this project again in the future.
